Beta is awesome and have a great feedback from those who tried it old and newcomers alike.
Streamers from the fan of the series also helped the excitement from newcomers.
Also, this is the first time MH will not be using PS2 assets. First MH that's on par with current Gen Graphics so I am not surprised by the excitement from MH fans. So yes one of the reason is it looks way way better from the PS2 assets from previous MH.

I feel like this series has just as much potential to evolve and move forward on the switch as it does on the PS4. I mean we're simply no longer at the point where handheld tech is huge generational gaps behind home consoles. It really is a shame that Capcom was short sighted enough to skip the switch with this one. |
Just one thing to point out PS5 and the next XBox will be coming either 2019 or 2020. There will be a huge gap again in terms of Graphical prowess and power.
Also, Capcom is not short sighted. It's a business decision where Switch is not part of that equation because the platform doesn't exist outside Nintendo.
From Capcom itself.
"We don't have any plans for the Switch at the moment. Part of the reason is that the title has been in development for almost 4 years. At the time we had to commit to our hardware choices, we decided on using the most powerful current generation consoles available at the time, which was Playstation 4 and Xbox One. So [the decision was made] before the Switch was even announced or on sale.
It's also because for every title we decide what the best fit for hardware is for the concept. We don't just look at everything. It's more like “if we want to achieve this kind of game concept, where's the best place to achieve that?” and for this title the Playstation 4 and Xbox One were the best fit for us."
